I provide extending through the cover I9 for free passage of air into the container as the liquid is sucked therefrom by the gun. I provide a spring 26 extending across the cover from the rear to the front adapted to have a portion bear upon the cover; and having perforations therein to register with the tube 2I and the vent 23 positioning the spring in operative relation.

link against repressed down to release the same.;

The great simplicity `of the deviceis Emanifest mountably attachableto any standard spray gun tachment tothe cover; the parts Vare-united simply by stickingthe tubeinto the liquid conforward when the rear locking memberV normallyftakes'its lplace under the cleat, then ay simple pressure downward of the spring: 26 infits forward portionperi whereupon the'linking of the spring to the housing member immediatelydraws the'cover assembly tight byreason of the pressure-of the spring container,y and being distributed overtheientirety ofthe cover.

.Y This eliminates substantially allcost of material and expenditure oftime-in cleaning the liquidi' there is :no conditionA that necessitates any cleaning vof the housing member; sub-:f serving convenience, economy ofy material and'.l
